WEM.INOTON, Kan., May 80.—The mighty tornadQ which formed in Harper county Ki-iday night swept across the counties of Harper and Sumner, lo add to the havoc wrought by the twisting' storm a waterspout claimed its share of the general wreck and devastated the northern part of Harper county, while lightning added its fires. Trees, barns, farmhouses and whole towns went down before the terrible force of the storm and human life went out in the twinklingof an eye. Fifteen dead at Wellington, seven at Harper and five at Argonia composc the list of victims in the towns, while from the country districts come reports of six killed, making a total of thirty-three dead.
The Wind's Work at Harper. ANTIIOXV, Kan., May 80.—The cyclone which swept through the city of Harper Friday night at 7:110 o'clock destroyed many lives, injured a large number of people and did an Immense amount of pecuniary damage. The scene in tho devastated town is one of ruin and destitution. Hardly a building in the entire town escaped demolition, and the place is strewn with debris from end to end. It is almost a miracle that moro lives were not lost, as tho death list containsnow only six names. Many were seriously injured and scores received slight wounds.
The Victims.
Th» list of killed 1B: J. L. Stainham, crushed in the full of his house James Ilnrrison wife and child of Jnmes Gallagher, farmer child of Grant Tomlin Mrs. Frank Toinlin William Stevenson, neck broken.
Story of tho Htortn.
Nothing escaped the storm's fury, and great dnmage is not only done to houses and crops and trees, but thousands of dollars' worth of stock lias been killed and injured. It is impossible at present to estimate the entire loss sustained by the city and surrounding country with any degree of aceuraey, but men who 11 iv.- traveled over its course say that it will not fail far short of £500,000. Not more than six out of the SOU or 900 residences of the city have escaped damage, but a large majority of tlieiu are only slightly hurt. It has been estimated that nearly 150 houses are total wrecks, while as many more are badly damaged. The Harper Mercantile Company's building is a ruin and nearly all its extensive stock of general merchandise is ruined. The amount of cyclone insurance in the town is light, while in the country it is comparatively nothing. Another serious loss is the new S14.000 school house, which is a total and complete wreck from foundation to roof. The storm struck the cemetery and swept down fully two-thirds of tho tombstones and monuments, breaking many of them. There is scarcely a residence recognizable as .such on Central avenue from the 1'resbyterian church north. About all the stores in the north half of the city are in ruins and their contents greatly damaged.
Iteliof Needed.
Many of the people are not only destitute of shelter but of food and clothing as well. A relief committee ha.-, been organized, with .John Watts a chairman, and Saturday a formal proelamatiqn was issued by the mayor reciting the distress of the people and calling for aid.
The aourse of the storm, ns indicated by its trail, represents an Imperfect letter "S" and swept iu that form a distance of at least 15 Iniles. In Garden l'lalns township two brothers were picked up and curried a distance of 200 yards and let down almost side by :le. One of thein was badly injured in the fall, while the other escaped without a scratch.
Wellington's Woo.
WKI.I.INGTON, Kan., May 80.—Not until day broke Saturday was it possible for any one to realize the volume of destruction by the cyclone Friday night. Even then it was impossible to compute the damage to property and the loss of life with anything like accuracy. What is known to certainty is that seventeen lives were lost and more than 8300,000 damage was done in this city. The list of dead will be greatly enlarged beyond a doubt, for many of those who were hurt but are still alive cannot recover from their injuries. There are still In the ruins of the Phillips house, Standard block and other building's perhaps a dozen bodies. No one knows how many. Hut forty or tnore persons are reported to be missing.
A Some of Dosulntlon.
On all sides are cruel evidences of the frightful havoc done by the tornado. Whole streets of houses are unrecognizable ruins, and in other places the storm lecined to havs contented itself with •Imply breaking up the roofs and currying them a mile. Of the l'resbyteriuii church, a substantial building capable of seating 1,200 people, hardly a vestige is loft. It was distributed to tho four winds of Heaven, and yet the parsonage standing across the street did not lose a chimney. Immense trees, lamp posts and telegraph poles were torn out of the ground and then thrown completely through the sides of buildings. The hundsome Spicknal block is nothing but a monument of mortar, lirick, timbers and glass. It contained three newspaper ofllces, the Monitor, Press and Voipe. Neither of I uese lias even one stick of type remaining.
Smite Wonderful KHcapeii.
Probably the strangest incident if i. i„. leniMil disaster was the provi
dential and miraculous escape of tho 7-month-old baby of Frank Bowers, a barber. When the cloud demolished Mowers' house the baby was peacefully sleeping in a cradle beside its mother's bed. The house was torn to fragments, yet the wind kindly and carefu.iy picked up the child out of the cradle, and, with a grasp as tender as that of its mother., carried it four blocks and then gently deposited it in the middle of a velvety lawn. Saturday morning the child was found uninjured crawling around the lawn and crying for its mother. The baby is living, but its mother is dead.
James Hastic was sitting in the Phillips house barber shop getting shaved when Che crash came. He was Instantly killed, and yet the barber who stooil over hlni with a razor in his hand w»s taken out of the ruins comparatively uninjured.
James Mayo, a piano tuner of Kansas City, was one of the killed. He had retired to his room in tho rhillips and was reading from his Bible when the crash came. When his body was taken from the ruins the Bible was found tightly clinched in his right hand.
Many of the dead are so fearfully mangled and crushed that they cannot be recognized. Arms, legs and trunks, crushed and bleeding, are occasionally found by the workmen. These will have to be buried together, as it will be almost impossible to discover tho missing parts.
Hurled the Dead.
Workmen ure luird at work contributing to the straightening up as far as possible of the blockade caused by the rubbish. The fuuerals of Mrs. Sasher, Miss Strahn, James liastio, Prof. Mayor, Ida Jones, Ed. Forsythe and Leonard Adatnson aLl occurred on Sunday under the auspices of all the churches and at one place. The remains of Prof. Mayor, Miss Ida Joues and Frank D. Campbell have been claimed by relatives who are here and will remove them to their respective homes. After the burial of the dead the next duty will be a restoration of the wreck us fast as practicable. The energy aud grit of the people are unexcelled.
At Sumner, III.
StwtXEH, 11L, May 30.—A cyclone did some bad work a few ihiles north of this city Saturday night at 0 o'clock, but no loss of# life is reported. The storm passed in a northeasterly direction and whenever the funnelshaped cloud struck the ground it took everything with it. The residence of Ben Barker was completely demolished and not a building remains on his farm. Ilis cattle were somewhat iujured. All (hut saved his family was the kitchen stove. Mrs. Barker had presence of mind enough to throw a bucket of water on the fire aud then gathered her children aud secreted herself by the stove. The house was lifted up and the roof fell on the stove and Mrs. Barker crawled out from her secreted place without a scratch. The home of George Daniels was badly damaged and his stock injured. Several trees were uprooted in this city. The Prairie Hall church was almost completely blown down.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 80.—J'he combination of the Indiana natural gas companies is one of the most important business transactions of the year in the state. Twenty gas companies have consolidated as far as the work in the field is concerned. In the twenty are included all the large companies in the state, with two or three exceptions, and one or two of the big manufacturing oonoerns which pipe their own gas. Tho combination has two objects in view—one to head off, so far ns possible, the operations of the big Chicago gas company, which is building a line into the best of the Held, and the other to reduce expenses and friction.

It is due at Chicago at 7::!5 o'clock and its schedule time at this place is il:-J7. Sunday night by reason of high water and other delays it was thirty minutes late at Joliet.. Isbcll, who has been connected with the line since it was opened lo Chicago, was working to make up his lost time, and came down the grade to the lies Plaines river at a lightning speed. At the edge of the bridge across the river and hidden by a slight curve a cow and her calf were on the track. When the engineer saw his danger it was too late to avoid it. The lireman leaped from the cab at the Instant ihe animals were struck and thereby saved bis life. The engine was derailed and bumped along the trestle some distance before it fell into the river. Engineer lsbell went with the locomotive. While the coupling between the tender and the forward car broke it did not prevent the ears leaving the track and they rolled off the approach to the bridge and down the bank leading to the river. The engine landed some lft feet from tho shore, a portion of tho cab remaining above water.
Engineer Isbell's body was found in the engine cab. His injuries were such that death must have been instant, lie leaves a widow and three children.
